The political right hates AI a little less than the left, but not by super much, and some forces from the emerging America First movement are getting ready to protest AI's invasiveness and capacity for manipulation. The org is called Humans First, and they're trying to have a 50501-style nationwide protest about it on July 18th. If both sides cooperate on this one, good things can actually happen, so this should get talked about. A lot. https://www.humansfirst.com/

One of the big common themes of conservatism is following the leader. They all want to bend the knee. They love hierarchy.

    Well, the flip-side is there doesn't seem to be nuance or waffling, either.

    To Republicans, he's either with them, or not; regular folks who break with Trump over an issue seem to renounce him entirely, from what I've seen.

    ...Hence I'm positing this could be a breaking point.

    I think some Trump supports who join this movement, and start watching his actions closely, are going to hit it. Some already did over Epstein, but this is an issue with broader direct impact in peoples' lives.

    Because once that last straw hits, they stop willfully ignoring everything else and the cognitive dissonance collapses.
